The couple announced they were expecting their child together last February.
In a previous interview with ABS-CBN's Ginger Conejero, James said that Michela gave birth to their son at the St. Luke's Medical Center. He also said that he was excited about being a dad again.
When asked if Bimby was aware that he was going to have baby brother, James said: "Actually hindi ko pa nasasabi kay Bim eh. Wala kasing chance eh."
